Model Moss in trouble over motto

20th November 2009

Supermodel Kate Moss has been criticised for her comments to fashion website WWD, where she said one of her mottos was: "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels".

Beat, a British charity for people with eating disorders, said: "It's very unfortunate that someone who is a style icon would make such a comment. We can only think and hope that she wouldn't realise just how dangerous it could be. Young people struggling with an eating disorder are fighting a tough enough battle as it is, without thoughtless remarks such as this which can make it even harder."
